Installation Instructions
WARNING
When working on air system components
the following precautions should be
observed.
1. Stop engine when working under a
vehicle. Always block the vehicle wheels
to prevent a fore or aft roll. Bleeding off
system pressure may cause the vehicle
to roll. Keep hands away from brake
chamber push rods and brake adjusters;
they may apply as system pressure
drops.
2. Never connect or disconnect a hose or
line containing air pressure. It may whip
as air escapes. Never remove a
component or a pipe plug unless you
are certain all system air pressure has
been exhausted.
3. Never exceed recommended working air
pressure and always wear safety glasses
when working with air pressure. Never
look directly into component ports or
direct a pressurized air flow at anyone.
4. Never attempt to disassemble a
component until you have read and
understand all recommended
procedures. Some components contain
powerful springs and injury can result if
not properly disassembled. Use only
proper tools and observe all precautions
pertaining to the use of those tools.
